It is not clear to me why theer are sometimes more than four, and sometimes less. Are some years empty because the names are lost, or because none were appointed?
Four 'burgemeesters' were appointed on 22 February (St. Petri) two by the Heer of Almelo, and two by the eight councilmembers of the previous year. In 1663 the number of ciouncilmembers was increased to twelve, of which the Heer of Almelo appointed six. The four 'burgemeesters' were appointed from these twelve. This situation continued until about 1785 and later.
